Wheelchair passenger not allowed to board

[Anvil1984]

Well on behalf of my daddy (so I dont know his name, may have been a milkman in the past) I've emailed Granada, North West Tonight, Daily Mail, MEN and of course Tameside Radio

Discrimination is the actual behavior towards another group. It involves excluding or restricting members of one group from opportunities that are available to other groups

You weren't excluded though were you? There was a fully accessible train 12 minutes later.

Not until you admit you are grossly in the wrong for posting a biased video all over the Internet showing half of the story and then go crying to the media without allowing Northern the time and courtesy of investigating your "complaint". Then you go posting numerous inaccuracies on forums such as this and DS and when you are found out to be a liar you change the subject and start making up more crap thus making you look an even bigger idiot...

dream on

tonyaryan why do you know the guards eldest sons middle name? And if you don't why would you make it up?

Lets cut to the chase which insane nut would give their middle name "Anvil" oh papa

It takes a strong minded person to admit they are in the wrong, you are obviously a weak minded individual with no balls to admit it.

Then we've got loads more questions, believe me this thread can last forever

I've got a question.


How do I get a nice little picture of a train under my name. I've found a nice little pic but I can't find an option to add it.


I'm going off topic aren't I

I have the perfect answer to all this. Why not withdraw all GB stops of ALL 142 trains from M. Problem solved: no disabled discrimination, reduce delays to all other passengers caused by the stop, ergo every one happy particularly K. Think I will suggest this to Northern as a bright idea.

S'ok I'd found it cheers

 

[ralphchadkirk]

It would solve all the problems.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

It would solve all the problems.

And reduce GUI service levels to just the Glossops and whenever randomly a 156 turns out, which can vary day to day

 

[sidmouth]

you better be being sarcastic

You might think that. Couldn't possibly comment.

 

[Chapeltom]

Anyone suggesting Class 142s removal better make a case to a lot of people in the North that their removal would be beneficial! Yes they are bouncing sheds but they are essential as without them there is nothing!

Some lines that use them do get absolutely packed, try the Atherton Line to/from Manchester Victoria on a Saturday!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I'm assuming your a rail enthusiast and therefore know a way around this but how would you do that, reduce GUI from 5tph (is it) to just 2tph from Glossop, which can accommodate wheelchairs

 

[ukrob]

Looks like he has gone.

Probably looking for a site where he still has some support.

It's 3tph

 

[EM2]

Good, I can get some work done now

 

[MidnightFlyer]

It's 3tph

Well, thats me guessing for you. I knew 2tph Glossop, just swear in here somone said 5tph 9might have been that 12 min thing!), so they reduce it to two tph, with no link to Hyde, marple, Romiley and Woodley? unless its a 156, which may happen once one day, and 8 time sthe next. Stupid

 

[sidmouth]

You might think that. Couldn't possibly comment.

But I suspect Mr K would think it a serious suggestion.... Indeed, whilst at it why not ban all cars that cannot be driven by Mr K. Then we would be all equal.

 

[ukrob]

He will need more than a two part ramp to get out of the hole he has dug, thats for sure.

so you were being sarcastic? TBH mate it doesn't matter what you sya now, mr K is gone. Doubt he'll be back

Looks like we'll all have to register over at the Daily Mail then!

He should be meeting Chilean miners by now ...

 

[Hobbit Feet]

What frustrates me is the unfairness of it all.

Tonyaryan can put his view across from end of t'internet to the other but the guard has no voice.

I just keep imagining how he must feel.

If he is guilty of discrimination I'd be the first to stamp on his whistle, but I don't think anyone truly believes he is.

Just trying to show the insanity of K's arguments....
